ULTRA DAIRY EXPANSION – WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT INITIAL MEETING.
Jim Gosier stated Ultra Dairy has been before the Board three of the past four years expanding their facility. He stated before the Board today is part one of a two part expansion and this is the smaller part. He stated they are starting to see the beginning of the end of the expansions of Ultra Dairy simply because they are running out of space. He stated they have before the Town of DeWitt a master plan for the final build out stages. He stated this is the first step in the final build out stage. He stated with the help of Onondaga County they are expanding their ability to treat waste water generated as part of their process. He stated in partnership with the County they are installing a large force main sewer near the facility that will relieve the pressure on the existing system in the Town of DeWitt and provide them the opportunity to grow along with the other businesses in that area. He stated this first step, called Phase 2A, is the construction of a state of the art waste water treatment facility that will treat all of the wastewater generated from the plant and then flow into a new sewer being installed by the County. He stated it will then be transferred to the Metro Wastewater Treatment Facility. He stated they are at their functional Page:4 2 capacity now for the treatment of wastewater and cannot continue to expand the facility without expanding their wastewater treatment system. He stated once this wastewater treatment facility is complete they will be in a position to expand processing and filling in the plant itself which will be a lot of money and a larger number of jobs. He stated when you look at this and the size of the expansions that Ultra Dairy has done to this point, $6.4 million isn’t the biggest project they have done and the same with the job creation. He stated this is just setting up the next and final phases of the Ultra expansion.
Victor Ianno asked if this is just a utility project and Ultra Dairy is not going to make any money. Jim Gosier stated it is more of a cost center than a profit center but again this is setting the stage for the final big expansions of the facility.
Victor Ianno asked how far off that will be. Jim Gosier stated this project will take about 6-8 months once they get started and following behind that is what they call Phase 2B which is a 42,000 square foot expansion of the existing facility. He stated it will be in the next 2-3 years. Victor Ianno asked if Ultra Dairy will ultimately build out at the facility. Jim Gosier stated before the Board is Phase 2A. He stated Phase 2B is an additional 42,000 square feet of space. He stated Phase 3B is another 39,000 square feet then they are done. He stated they are pleased with the progress they have made so far and their ability to produce. He stated the next 3 steps will maximize the facility not just in space but in the amount of production they can do there. Steve Morgan asked what products are produced at that plant. Jim Gosier stated the facility was initially built as an extended shelf life facility and what that means is that the processing of dairy products is done at a higher temperature so it has a longer shelf life. He stated when they initially started in 2003-2004 they made a lot of half and half but it had a shelf life of 77 days as opposed to fresh line is 28 to 45 days. He stated they entered into nondairy production particularly the equivalent of coffee creamers. He stated just recently the project that was before the Board was for aseptic expansion which is now up and running. He stated aseptic process is done at an even higher temperature in a totally sterile environment. He stated the product that comes out is shelf stable meaning it doesn’t have to be refrigerated and is good for 13 months. He stated with Dan Wood’s help and leadership Ultra Dairy has been in that for about 3 months with wonderful results. He stated literally that product can be shipped around the world because it does not have to be refrigerated.
Page:5 3 Patrick Hogan asked where the products are shipped. Jim Gosier stated they have a very large customer that distributes the aseptic products all over the country. He stated the primary end user at the moment is the Houston City School District.
Steve Morgan asked if they are contract manufacturing for other business. Jim Gosier stated that is about 85% of their business.
Janice Herzog asked if the extended shelf life products are in our stores. Jim Gosier stated no. He stated those primarily up to this point have been under a private label and somebody else’s name is on the package. He stated they will be introducing in the next 3-4 weeks a Byrne label of the aseptic product and if it gets picked up by a Wegmans or a Tops remains to be seen. Janice Herzog asked if they ship out of the country. Jim Gosier stated currently no and the farthest they go is Puerto Rico. He stated they ship a lot of product to Puerto Rico and have been for a number of years. He stated the aseptic takes them to a whole different level because if you think about the extended shelf life product it still has to be refrigerated. He stated going to Puerto Rico or the Caribbean it has to be on a refrigerated container ship whereas the aseptic product gets loaded onto intermodal containers and off it goes.
Fanny Villarreal asked how many jobs have been created so far. Jim Gosier stated they have a total of 215 people at one Ultra facility. He stated they have about 525 system wide. He stated when he says 215 work at the facility, those folks actually work in the plant. He stated they also have folks that work in the warehouse that support the plant, drivers and farmers that support the drivers. He stated this project will create another 10 full time employees.
Susan Stanczyk asked if the 10 jobs are highly technical and related to the wastewater plant. Jim Gosier stated some are more technical than others and they have dedicated waste water technicians. He stated milk or cream are delivered to the plant in big tanker trucks and the trucks have to be washed before they leave. He stated it isn’t like a delta sonic where they just drive thru because the cleaning is on the interior of the tank. He stated the truck pulls in, unloads its milks and currently it sits there then a spray ball system drops down into the tank and washes them. He stated it takes about 45 minutes to wash the tank. He stated they have three side by side tanker bays where they can unload three at a time but creates a traffic jam while tankers are Page:6 4 sitting there to be washed. He stated part of the wastewater treatment project has a tanker wash bay adjacent to it. He stated the trucks will come in, unload, leave the receiving bay and go around to the car wash. He stated they will be washed in a separate facility so they can free up the receiving bay to have milk delivered. He stated the long answer to the short question is the operators of the tanker wash is a lesser technical skilled job but the jobs they anticipate are everything from engineers down to the tanker wash folks.
Patrick Hogan stated he would like Nate Stevens to discuss the PILOT as Ultra has been before the Board regularly which is great because they are expanding and need our help and that is what we are in business for. Nate Stevens stated our numbers show a total investment of almost $75 million since 2003 just at the Ultra site that has come before this Board. Jim Gosier stated that is about 40% of the total investment they have had. He stated they are at about $200 million of investment.
Nate Stevens stated he wants to note that the sentence on the bottom saying “the PILOT schedule replaces all previous PILOT Schedules regarding this project site” means that any previous PILOT schedules, specifically the one approved last year by this Board in 2020, will go away and will be replaced by the schedule in the board packet. He stated if you were to compare the PILOT schedule from last year and the PILOT schedule from this year, you will see this one’s total PILOT payments over the exact same length of time is roughly $200,000 higher, reflecting the increased value of this wastewater treatment plant.
Patrick Hogan asked if in essence we folded one PILOT agreement into another one. Nate Stevens stated yes.
Steve Morgan stated it says 20 jobs in 2022 and 5 jobs in 2023 versus what we talked about early of having 10 new jobs. Nate Stevens stated their expansion last year is still running so he folded it in.
Steve Morgan stated it was talked about that this is leading to a larger project and asked what the estimated time is for the larger expansion project to be for job creation. Dan Wood stated about 140 total. He stated in essence they are doubling the size of the plant.
Steve Morgan asked if the plant runs 24/7. Dan Wood stated yes.
Page:7 5 Jeff Davis stated he assumes the plan is before the Town of DeWitt now and asked if they are looking at just the wastewater treatment plant or the multiple phases discussed today. He stated he asks this specifically in regards to the SEQR review they are doing. Jim Gosier stated they asked the Town of DeWitt to consider both, Phase 2A and 2B, waste water treatment and 42,000 square feet of processing space for a couple reasons. He stated their experience with the Town suggests that the more comprehensive they can be the better off they are. He stated they came to a different conclusion when it comes to the OCIDA Board where it seems more logical to take in smaller bites. He stated they will do the first and come back when they are ready to do phase 2B because it may be a year or two before doing Phase 2B. He stated when they determine to go forward with that then they will come back before the Board. Jeff Davis asked if they will extend the site plan approval with the Town of Dewitt for that work. Jim Gosier stated yes. Jeff Davis stated for SEQR purposes for this Board we will rely upon the review of the Town of DeWitt as lead agency and the review will only cover Phase 2A and 2B and any third phase is too speculative at this time. Jim Gozier agreed.
Upon a motion by Susan Stanczyk, seconded by Janice Herzog, the OCIDA Board approved a resolution authorizing a public hearing for the Ultra Diary Expansion – Wastewater Treatment plant. Motion was carried.
Jeff Davis stated last year the Board voted for authorization for the Executive Director to execute an application to DEC to amend the Brownfield Cleanup Agreement at Roth Steel where we modified the boundary of the agreement with DEC as to who is responsible for remediating what. He stated that application was approved recently by DEC and they sent us the amended Brownfield Cleanup Agreement application which also requires a vote showing that Robert Petrovich has the authorization to execute the amended Cleanup Agreement. He stated it is performance work but a vote is needed of the Board authorizing Mr. Petrovich to execute that amendment which allows the remediation of Roth to take a step forward and it also defines the responsibilities clearly between what DEC is handling and what OCIDA is handling.
Page:8 6 Steve Morgan asked for a synopsis what OCIDA is responsible for. Robert Petrovich stated for simple math we will say the site is 21 acres, although it is a little larger. He stated basically the site was divided with14 acres closer to Hiawatha and 7 acres closer to lake. He stated that portion of the property has been divided roughly on the lines of what is the less contaminated versus what is most contaminated. He stated the problems we have been having with this site is it is contaminated, there is so much financial risk and ultimately risk working with the cleanup. He stated everyone that has approached us about potentially developing the site has ultimately backed away because of the risk aversion to conducting the cleanup. He stated the decision was made to get it cleaned up and that will put us in a position to get it redeveloped. He stated the front portion of the property covered under the Brownfield Cleanup Agreement requires spot removal of PCB contamination and some other contaminants that are there. He stated basically we will go in and surgically remove some stuff, dig it out, put in a barrier layer, cap it and be done. He stated part of the capping will also be associated with pavement that we put down or building slab sitting on top of it which constitutes a cap as well. He stated the back 7 acres are the most contaminated and effectively is going to be cleaned up by the DEC. He stated the front part is ultimately going to cost the Agency somewhere between $1 million and $1.5 million. He stated the back portion of the site is going to be cleaned up by the State in the agreement we have that is effectively done under superfund. He stated that will probably cost $5 million, maybe more. He stated that could take 3 to 5 years to get completed. He stated 3 years if they are aggressive and 5 years if they are not. He stated we think we can get it done in about a calendar year so our expectation would be that we would be in a position to start remediation if not this fall, we would certainly be in the ground doing remediation in the spring and at that time be in a better position to market the site for redevelopment. He stated the team recognizes that we are obviously on two schedule tracks but we also think once we are done that will help motivate the state to get going and bring to closure the superfund portion of this. He stated we are working with the County Executive’s office on some development ideas for the site but we think this is the most expeditious way to move forward with progress and ultimately the resolution on remediation which will then tee up redevelopment of the property.
Steve Morgan asked if the property can be subdivided. Robert Petrovich stated we don’t want to subdivide and we want to retain ownership because of future development plans. He stated we are going to need the space. He stated the state agreed to that but the state also agreed that they are going to fund the cleanup on their nickel.
Page:9 7 Victor Ianno asked how much money the Agency will have into this by the time we are done. Robert Petrovich stated between the acquisition and all of the things done to date, somewhere around $3-3.5 million. He stated we have a couple million into it already and another $1-$1.5 million going into it. He stated we are hoping to bring it in under $4 million.
Janice Herzog asked if the site has been tossed around for a potential target occupant. Robert Petrovich stated yes. He stated there are various clean up levels and residential would be too big a lift because of the human health risk occupancy and the duration of activity on the site. He stated we are cleaning up to a commercial standard. He stated we don’t have to take out every molecule of contamination but we have to take out the most obvious sources and locations of contamination. He stated the things that we have looked, in terms of commercial and industrial uses, are ag manufacturing and spent probably 18 months trying to get that project sited there and they backed away because of the uncertainty on contamination. He stated Covid wasn’t helping either. He stated we also looked at industrial tire folks that were interested in locating there. He stated there have been a number of commercial and industrial. He stated we haven’t looked for any retail or residential because we don’t think the end use is appropriate and will be a hard sell to the DEC with human risk assessment factors that would be contributed to that. Steve Morgan stated there was discussion about paving the whole thing based on the level of contamination on part of the property. Robert Petrovich stated to be commercial you have to have the top foot clean. He stated we are going to remove what we need to remove on the surface and then put a barrier layer down. He stated that is why having a site plan and some idea of what we are putting there is very helpful. He stated to the extent you have pavement and to the extent you have building with a slab that is considered a cap by DEC. He stated where we don’t have that we are going to have to have a foot of clean fill over the top of it and that is also considered a cap. He stated paving it and then to go back in and rip it up for development he does not think is a good approach. He stated there have been a lot of different ideas and he thinks we are on the path to success here but we need about 12-16 months to get it done. Janice Herzog stated if we were to compare the site to where Destiny built in terms of contamination levels, is it similar. Robert Petrovich stated he doesn’t remember exactly what Destiny had there but he knows it was a scrap yard once upon time. He stated we don’t have ground water users, we have a municipal water supply. He stated we don’t have contamination from the studies that we have done that demonstrate the contaminations going anywhere in a Page:10 8 meaningful way. He stated it is pretty much isolated on site. He stated PCBs in and of themselves are inert which means they stay put unless there is something pushing them like a solvent or chlorinated organics moving through the ground water and picking this stuff up and taking it with it. He stated at the end of the day we have some hot spots that we have to dig and then we are effectively done. He stated the risk is once you start digging you can’t stop until you are out of the contamination and demonstrate why you can’t go further.
Patrick Hogan stated he thinks we need to be cognizant because there is a significant amount of private and public investment in that whole area. He stated the Inner Harbor and the City just widened the trail along Hiawatha Boulevard through state funding and the Creek Walk is right there. He stated there are many new businesses coming.
Robert Petrovich stated DOT just put in a nice pedestrian bridge connecting that last section of the lake. He stated we think it is a number of positive factors that come together that drive us ultimately to getting that remediated.
Upon a motion by Janice Herzog, seconded by Victor Ianno, the OCIDA Board approved a resolution authorizing the Executive Director to execute an amendment to the Brownfield Site Cleanup Agreement in connection with the 800 Hiawatha Boulevard West site. Motion was
carried.
Jeff Davis stated Items 3 and 4 are off the agenda. He stated a request is being made to the Board to consider a special meeting on Friday, July 16 at 10:00 am. He stated the meeting will be noticed and will allow us to hold the meeting on Friday.
Upon a motion by Steve Morgan, seconded by Sue Stanczyk, the OCIDA Board approved a resolution to hold a special meeting on Friday, July 16, 2021 at 10:00 am. Motion was carried. Upon a motion by Janice Herzog, seconded by Susan Stanczyk, the OCIDA Board adjourned the meeting at 8:34 am. Motion was carried.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY.
Jeff Davis stated as the Board knows we have been working diligently since December on the State Environmental Quality Review Act process (SEQRA) at the White Pine Commerce Park undergoing first a determination of a Type I action that was done by this Board in September of the expansion of White Pine. He stated then working through a draft Supplemental Generic Page:13 Environmental Impact Statement this Board voted on previously went through a public comment process as well as a public hearing. He stated we have worked with the Board Working Group throughout the process and now for the Board’s consideration is the Final Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement that addresses all of the comments received from involved agencies, interested parties and the general public. He stated the Board received this document and there has been time to review it. He stated he has heard back from several Board members on comments and questions and they were working through. He stated in front of the Board for consideration is a resolution that accepts as complete the Final Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement. He stated he will read the proposed resolution. He stated it talks about the process and explains the next step in the process. He stated by accepting this document as final that starts the process for the development of a determination Findings Statement which will be the next step in the SEQR process. He stated it will be a determination findings statement that walks through our determinations under SEQR based upon the Final Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement.
Jeff Davis read the resolution.
WHEREAS, the Agency currently owns White Pine Commerce Park (“Park”) located northeast of
the intersection of NYS Route 31 and Caughdenoy Road in the Town of Clay, Onondaga County, New York; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to transform the Park into a modern industrial park for advanced
manufacturing and state-of-the-art industrial uses, the Agency previously performed a thorough environmental review of the Park and its anticipated environmental impacts pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law of the State of New York, as amended, and the regulations of the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York promulgated thereunder (collectively referred to hereinafter as “SEQRA”), which included, but was not limited to, the following: (1) classifying the Park project as a Type 1 action; (2) acting as Lead Agency for the purpose of a coordinated environmental review; (3) conducting necessary studies and holding required hearings in connection with the preparation of a Generic Environmental Impact Statement (“GEIS”) to address anticipated potential impacts associated with the proposed multi- use industrial park; (4) preparation of a subsequent Final GEIS (“FGEIS”) that incorporated the DGEIS by reference and included responses to public comments received; and (5) preparation and issuance by the Agency of a Findings Statement in October of 2013 that (a) concluded the project avoided or minimized adverse environmental impacts to the maximum extent practicable, (b) Page:14 2 incorporated mitigation measures that were considered practicable, and (c) identified certain impact thresholds that, if exceeded, may require supplemental determinations of their significance and/or impact evaluation, and possibly mitigation measures in addition to those identified; and
WHEREAS, since 2013, the Agency has attempted to market the Park for development around the
country to potential manufacturing and industrial users, but those efforts have been unsuccessful and the Park remains vacant; and
WHEREAS, through its marketing efforts and communications with desired tenants around the
country, the Agency has determined that the Park is not geographically large enough and must be expanded significantly to be considered an attractive, viable location for prospective large- and small-scale manufacturing and industrial developers; and
WHEREAS, to improve the Agency’s ability to market the Park to a larger, more diverse mix of
large- and small-scale industrial, manufacturing, and commercial users, the Agency proposes to expand the existing Park to approximately 1,250 acres by acquiring approximately 800 additional acres to the north and east of the existing Park footprint, with such additional acreage comprised of certain parcels contiguous to the current Park, and which are generally located along NYS Route 31 and the east and west sides of Burnett Road (the “Project” or “Action”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to SEQRA, the Agency is required to make a determination whether the
“action” (as said quoted term is defined in SEQRA) to be taken by the Agency may have a “significant impact on the environment” (as said quoted term is utilized in SEQRA) and the preliminary agreement of the Agency to undertake the Project constitutes such an action; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to SEQRA (6 N.Y.C.R.R. § 617.9(7)(i)), the Agency recognizes the
proposed Project represents a significant change from the Park’s current footprint that presents changed circumstances from those evaluated by the Agency under its prior SEQRA review in 2013; and
WHEREAS, the Agency prepared and completed a Full Environmental Assessment Form (the
“FEAF”) to aid in determining whether undertaking the Project requires a supplemental GEIS; and Page:15 3
WHEREAS, based upon an examination of the FEAF prepared for the Project, the criteria
contained in 6 NYCRR §617.7(c), and based further upon the Agency’s knowledge of the area surrounding the Project, and such further investigation of the Project and its potential significant environmental impacts as the Agency has deemed appropriate, at a regularly scheduled meeting on December 8, 2020, the Agency: (i) determined that the Project constitutes a “Type I Action” (as said quoted term is defined in SEQRA), (ii) determined that the Project required a coordinated review under SEQRA, (iii) issued a positive declaration under SEQRA for the Project determining that the Project may result in one or more significant adverse impacts to the environment, and (iv) determined that the preparation of a Supplemental GEIS (“SGEIS”) was necessary to adequately identify and evaluate potential significant adverse impacts associated with the Project that are not addressed or were inadequately addressed in the existing DGEIS/FGEIS; and
WHEREAS, the Agency prepared a Draft SGEIS for the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Agency determined that the Draft SGEIS was complete and adequate for public
review on May 6, 2021; and
WHEREAS, upon notice in a newspaper of general circulation in Onondaga County, public
comments on the Project and the Draft SGEIS were received by the Agency at a public hearing, held virtually in accordance with the modifications to Article 7 of the Public Officers Law (the “Open Meetings Law”) as modified by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Executive 202.79, on May 24, 2021; and
WHEREAS, written comments on the Project and the DGEIS were received by the Agency during
the public comment period from May 6, 2021 to June 11, 2021; and
WHEREAS, in consideration of and in response to the comments received, the Agency caused to
be prepared a Final Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (FSGEIS); and
WHEREAS, the Agency has reviewed and considered the FSGEIS and finds it to be complete.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the members of the Onondaga County Industrial
Development Agency as follows:
Page:16 4 (1) The Agency hereby deems the FSGEIS for the White Pine Commerce Park to be complete.
(2) The Agency shall publish notice of FSGEIS completion in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Environmental Notice Bulletin. (3) The Agency shall file the FSGEIS and the notice of its completion with: a. The Chief Executive Officer of the Town of Clay;
b. All Involved Agencies;
c. Any person who has requested a copy; and d. The Agency’s records regarding the Project.
(4) A copy of this Resolution, together with the attachments hereto, shall be placed on file in the office of the Agency where the same shall be available for public inspection during business hours.
(5) The Agency shall post the FSGEIS on a publicly available internet website. (6) The Agency shall prepare a Findings Statement on the Project in accordance with SEQRA.
(7) The Agency shall undertake such other action as may be necessary and desirable to comply with SEQRA.
(8) The Chairman and/or the Executive Director of the Agency are hereby authorized and directed to distribute copies of this Resolution and to do such further things or perform such acts as may be necessary or convenient to implement the provision of this Resolution.
(9) This Resolution shall take effect immediately Upon a motion by Steve Morgan, seconded by Susan Stanczyk, the OCIDA Board approved a resolution determining the Final Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement complete and authorizing the Chairman, Executive Director and Legal Counsel to take all necessary steps to comply with publication, notification and filings of the State Environmental Quality Review Act. Motion was carried.
Jeff Davis stated there is a request to hold a special meeting of the Board potentially on July 27, 2021 at 8:00 am and that would be an opportunity for the Board to consider the determination of Page:17 5 the Finding Statement which is the next step in the SEQRA process. He stated it has to happen at least 10 days after the vote the Board just took. He stated it allows us to complete the time period and the request is to consider that special meeting date.
Robert Petrovich asked the Board members if they can make the meeting on July 27, 2021 at 8:00 am. The Board members all agreed they can attend on that day and time.
Janice Herzog stated she would like to thank everyone involved in preparing the Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement. She stated she knows it was a really big lift and people spent a lot of time and many hours and completed a transparent comprehensive and inclusive process with responding and inviting public comment and the County Executive taking time out to listen to the people of the Town of Clay. She stated she wanted to thank everyone for their time and effort. She stated it has been many years to get to this point but this is really a game changing moment for this property. She stated she remembers years ago the Economic Development office going to Marcy and looked at what they were doing and how did they get to that point. She stated to think we can actually be at that point at White Pine is really incredible and game a changing moment for not only Onondaga County but Central New York in bringing high tech high paying jobs and a broad diverse destination for the semiconductor industries. She stated thank you for all your time and effort especially Jeff Davis for answering all the questions. Janice Herzog asked if there are any questions.
Steve Morgan asked where we are in the amount of acres we have. Robert Petrovich stated we are making progress and then we initiated the SEQR process. He stated we are going to reinvigorate our efforts to secure the balance of land. He stated we have every expectation that we will get to 1250 acres and we are not that far away.
Kevin Ryan asked if there is a timeframe when we will get to the 1250 acres. Robert Petrovich stated specifically no but with everything that is going on, sooner rather than later. He stated he would say the expectation would be in the next 30 to 60 days would not be an unreasonable timeline.
Steve Morgan asked if we have almost 1,000 acres secured. Robert Petrovich stated we have control of over 1,000 acres maybe a little bit more. He stated the rest is being efforted to Page:18 6 conclusion. He stated the County Executive and the Economic Development office has been working with all the folks in the area to reach an accommodation that is satisfactory.

Upon a motion by Janice Herzog, seconded by Susan Stanczyk, the OCIDA Board approved the Payment of Bills, Schedule #459 for $4,969.18. Motion was carried.
The Conflict of Interest was circulated and there were no conflicts reported.
Jeff Davis stated at the last meeting on July 16 the Board voted to adopt the Final Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement. He stated it included a summary of all the comments received by the various interested parties and the public and the responses to all of those. He stated Appendix C was a hard copy of all the comments received. He stated it was determined after the vote that there was an inadvertent copy error in one of the comment letters and it was not attached to Appendix C. He stated all other comments were addressed in the document in section 6.2 but because of the size of the comment letter and how it was transmitted with embedded comments instead a normal comment letter, it did not get in for copying purposes. He stated it was an inadvertent Scribner type error that can be corrected. He stated it is not a substantive or procedural issue so they are endeavoring to get a new copy of that for OCIDA to put on their website that will include in Appendix C the 200 page comment letter as well sending out by CD a revised mailing to all interested and involved agencies and other parties that received it. He stated he just wanted to clarify that for the record. He stated they were specifically comments that were submitted by CEE Engineering and Environment PLLC. He stated they were all reviewed, summarized and analyzed by this Board and considered. He stated they were part of the responses to the Section 6.2 of the Final Supplemental Generic EIS but the comment letter was excluded for copying reasons and is now being included.
Robert Petrovich asked if there are any substantive issues. Jeff Davis stated there are no substantive issues and no change to the process that was done. He stated it is a copy error and that is being corrected.
Page:21 2 (Fanny Villarreal arrived at meeting.) Jeff Davis read the resolution.
WHEREAS, the Agency currently owns White Pine Commerce Park (“Park”) located northeast of
the intersection of NYS Route 31 and Caughdenoy Road in the Town of Clay, Onondaga County, New York; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to transform the Park into a modern industrial park for advanced
manufacturing and state-of-the-art industrial uses, the Agency previously performed a thorough environmental review of the Park and its anticipated environmental impacts pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law of the State of New York, as amended, and the regulations of the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York promulgated thereunder (collectively referred to hereinafter as “SEQRA”), which included, but was not limited to, the following: (1) classifying the Park project as a Type 1 action; (2) acting as Lead Agency for the purpose of a coordinated environmental review; (3) conducting necessary studies and holding required hearings in connection with the preparation of a Generic Environmental Impact Statement (“GEIS”) to address anticipated potential impacts associated with the proposed multi- use industrial park; (4) preparation of a subsequent Final GEIS (“FGEIS”) that incorporated the DGEIS by reference and included responses to public comments received; and (5) preparation and issuance by the Agency of a Findings Statement in October of 2013 that (a) concluded the project avoided or minimized adverse environmental impacts to the maximum extent practicable, (b) incorporated mitigation measures that were considered practicable, and (c) identified certain impact thresholds that, if exceeded, may require supplemental determinations of their significance and/or impact evaluation, and possibly mitigation measures in addition to those identified; and
WHEREAS, since 2013, the Agency has attempted to market the Park for development around the
country to potential manufacturing and industrial users, but those efforts have been unsuccessful and the Park remains vacant; and
WHEREAS, through its marketing efforts and communications with desired tenants around the
country, the Agency has determined that the Park is not geographically large enough and must be expanded significantly to be considered an attractive, viable location for prospective large- and small-scale manufacturing and industrial developers; and
WHEREAS, to improve the Agency’s ability to market the Park to a larger, more diverse mix of
large- and small-scale manufacturing and industrial developers, the Agency proposes to expand the existing Park to approximately 1,250+/- acres by acquiring additional acres to the north and east of the existing Park footprint, with such additional acreage comprised of certain parcels contiguous to the current Park, and which are generally located along NYS Route 31 and the east and west sides of Burnet Road (the “Project” or “Action”); and Page:22 3
WHEREAS, pursuant to SEQRA, the Agency is required to make a determination whether the
“action” (as said quoted term is defined in SEQRA) to be taken by the Agency may have a “significant impact on the environment” (as said quoted term is utilized in SEQRA) and the preliminary agreement of the Agency to undertake the Project constitutes such an action; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to SEQRA (6 N.Y.C.R.R. § 617.9(7)(i)), the Agency recognized the
proposed Project represents a significant change from the Park’s current footprint that presents changed circumstances from those evaluated by the Agency under its prior SEQRA review in 2013; and
WHEREAS, the Agency prepared and completed a Full Environmental Assessment Form (the
“FEAF”) to aid in determining whether undertaking the Project requires a supplemental GEIS; and
WHEREAS, based upon an examination of the FEAF prepared for the Project, the criteria
contained in 6 NYCRR §617.7(c), and based further upon the Agency’s knowledge of the area surrounding the Project, and such further investigation of the Project and its potential significant environmental impacts as the Agency has deemed appropriate, at a regularly scheduled meeting on December 8, 2020, the Agency: (i) determined that the Project constitutes a “Type I Action” (as said quoted term is defined in SEQRA), (ii) determined that the Project required a coordinated review under SEQRA, (iii) issued a positive declaration under SEQRA for the Project determining that the Project may result in one or more significant adverse impacts to the environment, and (iv) determined that the preparation of a Supplemental GEIS (“SGEIS”) was necessary to adequately identify and evaluate potential significant adverse impacts associated with the Project that are not addressed or were inadequately addressed in the existing DGEIS/FGEIS; and
WHEREAS, the Agency prepared a Draft SGEIS for the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Agency determined by resolution dated May 6, 2021 that the Draft SGEIS was
complete and adequate for public review; and
WHEREAS, upon notice in a newspaper of general circulation in Onondaga County, public
comments on the Project and the Draft SGEIS were received by the Agency at a public hearing, held virtually in accordance with the modifications to Article 7 of the Public Officers Law (the “Open Meetings Law”) as modified by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Executive 202.79, on May 24, 2021; and
WHEREAS, written comments on the Project and the Draft SGEIS were received by the Agency
during the public comment period from May 6, 2021 to June 11, 2021; and
WHEREAS, in consideration of and in response to the comments received, the Agency caused to
be prepared a Final SGEIS; and
WHEREAS, the Agency subsequently reviewed, revised, and finalized the Final SGEIS, and, by
resolution dated July 16, 2021, determined the Final SGEIS was complete; and Page:23 4
WHEREAS, the Final SGEIS and Notice of Completion of Final SGEIS were filed in accordance
with SEQRA on July 16, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the Agency caused the Notice of Completion of Final SGEIS to be published in the
Environmental Notice Bulletin on July 21, 2021 in accordance with SEQRA (6 N.Y.C.R.R. § 617.12(c)(1)); and
WHEREAS, more than ten days have passed since the acceptance and filings of the Final SGEIS; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has received and considered input from involved and interested agencies,
legal and engineering consultants, and other relevant information; and
WHEREAS, as a result of its independent examination and review, the Agency finds that, on balance,
and after due consideration of all relevant documentation and related information, it has more than adequate information to evaluate the relevant benefits and potential impacts of the Project and to issue this resolution and accompanying Findings Statement; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has complied with SEQRA in all respects.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the members of the Onondaga County Industrial
Development Agency as follows:
1. The Agency has given full consideration to the relevant environmental impacts, facts and conclusions set forth in the Draft SGEIS and Final SGEIS.
2. The Agency has weighed and balanced the relevant environmental impacts with the social, economic and other essential considerations relating to the Project. 3. The requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 617 have been met.
4. The Project, from among reasonable alternatives, is one which minimizes or avoids adverse environmental effects to the maximum extent practicable.
5. Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations, to the maximum extent practicable, adverse environmental effects revealed in the Final SGEIS process will be minimized or avoided by incorporating as conditions those mitigative measures which are identified as practicable throughout the annexed SEQRA Findings Statement and Final SGEIS.
6. The annexed SEQRA Findings Statement, which was prepared in accordance with Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law, is hereby adopted and incorporated herein by reference. The facts and conclusions set forth in the Findings Statement are derived from the Draft SGEIS and Final SGEIS, other documents, reports, submittals and other relevant information, including the personal knowledge and familiarity of the Agency’s members with the Project and surrounding area, comprising the record of these deliberations. The Findings Statement is set forth herein as the basis of the Agency’s decision and to document the factors and standards considered by the Agency in making this decision.
7. A copy of this Resolution, together with the attachment hereto, shall be distributed in accordance with SEQRA and placed on file in the office of the Agency where the same shall be available for public inspection during business hours.
Page:24 5 Upon a motion by Victor Ianno, seconded by Janice Herzog, the OCIDA Board approved a resolution adopting the SEQRA Findings Statement based on the Final SGEIS, which incorporated by reference the Draft SGEIS, for the expansion of the White Pine Commerce Park. Motion was carried.

Upon a motion by Susan Stanczyk, seconded by Victor Ianno, the OCIDA Board adjourned executive session at 8:34 am. Motion was carried.
Jeff Davis stated this resolution confirms that the property acquisitions are part of the SEQR action that was thoroughly evaluated as part of the Supplement Generic EIS and resulting in the Findings Statement that was just voted on and as such confirms that SEQR was complied with and nothing further is required under the act.
Upon a motion by Janice Herzog, seconded by Victor Ianno, the OCIDA Board approved a resolution authorizing adoption of SEQRA determination consistent with previously adopted Findings Statement. Motion was carried.
Jeff Davis stated this is an omnibus of 6 resolutions for purchase of properties so the action requested is a resolution of the Board authorizing the Executive Director to enter into three purchase contracts and any related documents with respect to 3 parcels of property to be acquired and to exercise the options to purchase and to enter into purchase contracts and any related documents to three additional properties to be acquired that are currently under option.
